This President vs the last one.

One poll I was looking for for quite a while, when Bush was President, was the most hated man in the world.
I recall years ago, that it was always the Russian Prime Minister or
some other hated dictator.
.. From 2004 or 5 on, I gather it was Bush. So many people around the world hated him and we all knew it. But, it would not look good , so the MSM kept that one out of the news.
Now a year and four months later, we now have the most admired person in the world in Mr Obama. And this one feels good. I am proud that our leader is so respected in so many places.

1. Great news!

I remember being in Europe during the time Kennedy was President.

They loved President Kennedy, just loved him.

I was proud to be an American.

2. The respect that other leaders give Obama, is great compared

to the disguised contempt (and not so disguised) they showed Bush.

3. The other world leaders must be so grateful

to have someone to talk to with an IQ in three digits.

4. Too bad he's not getting that respect here. DU obviously doesn't

share the opinions of most of the rest of the world.

5. Yes, it feels good that the rest of the world have President Obama in great esteem

Too bad that he is the "most hated" President in history right here at home!

I sure appreciate him, admire him,. . .and I do trust him.

6. I disagree...Obama is not the "most hated" President

in history. Yes, the hatred for him may be loud and strident. --ugly and abusive--true.

Far more people here hated Bush than currently hate.. Obama.
And Nixon..killed hundreds of thousands more. (I know, he had a "secret plan" to end the Viet Nam War..)

My guess is, most Americans respect Obama. Fox news watchers excluded.

7. I hope you're right! I must say that I live in an area where I am being ostracised for

being fervent Obama supporter!
